Canon, like Nikon have had a busy year with regards to their full frame camera releases. They unveiled quite possibly the most anticipated release of 2012 in the 5D Mark 3 and, just in time for Christmas their answer to the D600 in the 6D.

Enter two cameras that I think present photography with a human face and real dials that click and move with the upmost precision. First I will look at the RX-1 a new full frame (yes FULL frame) pocket 35mm fixed lenses camera and then I* will turn my attention to the X2 an entry point 35 mm from Leica (now in an extra special Paul Smith edition). Both these cameras are best of class, crafted cameras. Both will set you back at least 3000 US dollars. Both are drop dead beautiful objects that you would carry with pride.

Let’s be honest, if you wanted a good camera with all of, or at least most of, the tech for a very good camera, the Canon EOS 7D or the Nikon D7000 have your court covered. So why invest in a 6D or D600 when you can get so much more from a 5D Mark III or D800 if you want to be serious with your full frame?

Following some less than stellar feedback on the original camera this new update comes with a limited number of real changes so some may see this as an evolutionary refresh more than a rethink. So let's have a brief look at the main differences from the previous model.

If you’re looking for a serious compact camera then you may have already narrowed your choice down to either the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX100 or the Canon’s PowerShot G1 X. The Sony is a sexy piece of kit with clean lines while the bulkier Canon has more going on under the hood; but do you really need the extras?

There’s no doubt that mirrorless cameras have proved a hit with consumers and are here to stay. I am going to look at two updates to popular and somewhat established models of the NEX F3 (replacing the C3) and Lumix GF 5 (replacing the GF3).

It’s also as equally an arduous task to try and separate the crapper things in life, which is where this review comes in. Well, I don’t really think any of these cameras are crap, but some people think that I think so, so I’m just giving them what they expect to hear.

When we first heard that there was going to be a Nikon D3200, the first thing that we were contemplating was whether it will also be another megapixels packed sensor camera like the D800.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is probably the best overall Canon DSLR after factoring value for money. However, there will be those who may argue that this crown should go to the Canon EOS 7D.
